12,000 fentanyl pills found packaged in Halloween candy

Authorities are encouraging parents to double-check their children’s Halloween candy following a massive fentanyl bust at Los Angeles International Airport.

Authorities on Wednesday seized approximately 12,000 suspected fentanyl pills that were found disguised in several popular Halloween candy brands at the California airport. Authorities found the dangerous opioid inside boxes of Sweetarts, Skittles and Whoppers, officials said.

In a press release, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said that narcotic detectives and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) responded to a TSA screening area around 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday after an individual attempted to go through airport security with bags of candy.

This is how you kick down the number of fighting men you have in the future. If anyone dont have the book, the art of war I suggest you get and read it. A majority of the illicit synthetic fentanyl that makes it past the border is from china.

Who does this? Not drug dealers, they are after $$, not the expense of packaging and giving it away free. Then who profits?? Seems to always be the question.

Now this gives a total new meaning to the term “Trick or Treat.” A diabolical trick for sure and absolutely no treat for the victim.

The Sinaloa Cartel claims they smuggle 1.5 billion fentanyl pills into the US every year. Think about that. And there are 8 to 10 cartels down there. And the border is wide open. And the US politicians have no intention to shut it down. It’s over.
